Default New guy here, not honda tough

I´ve been looking at this site/forum for a while now, like a bible, but only now decided to join...

I know this site is more honda orientated... but i ask you to broad your mind and welcome a suzuki swift gt-i with a "HMT" build-up going on...

I´ve allways loved cars... and decided to make them my life, i´m a SAAB mechanic and a true "motorhead"...

When i recived my license, all i wanted was a honda, but fortunatly at that time a nice swift gt-i came into my hands... car that i truly love... been trough 4 already...

Currently i´m turbocharging mine with a complete home made setup, the turbo is from a saab, intercooler from a vw, custom hand made log style manifold, saab bov, etc...

Hope you like the car and help me out on doing this properly...
Here´s my URL with full details on the car: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/557019 turbo details on page 5...

Cool, so I'm assuming that those engines are 75mm bore too, what's the stroke? Looks just like a Honda motor only it spins the right way.

Those are cool little cars. A local guy that owns a garage (and has tons of sweet cars. SWEET CARS) has one of those for his daily driver.

linkmustang - i´m a SAAB mechanic...

alpalwal - i think it stands for gran turismo injection

2tonehatch - yeap, i´m really happy with the suzi, great litlle fun car...very fast and reliable...

nonvtec - Bore: 74.0 mm, Stroke 75.5 mm, yes, the engine is very similar to honda b16/18 dohc engines...

SinisterCRX - great little reliable and economic car, here´s a very comprehensive forum on all swifts, everything you wanted to know, and more, about this cars at www.teamswift.net... but for me the GT-i is the only one worth having...
But if you want a car for commuting, the GA´s the one...

I have some questions regarding my setup here: https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...4668#msg594668 any help would be welcome...

Pretty much the same as a Geo Metro if I'm right and done my researching in the right places. Just a better engine and susp but same platform I think.
